I had to take my mixed media class offline while I was teaching it at a local store here in town. Now that I'm not scheduled to teach in person I can again have it online. Only $6!! You simply can't go wrong!

As part of my passion for real food and
my current training in Holistic Nutrition, I’ve become more attuned to the
amazing benefits of essential oils. After researching many companies I’ve
decided upon Young Living Essential Oils to be my company of choice. I now buy
all my essential oils at wholesale prices. The best part is, there is NO CATCH.
You don’t have to distribute them, you don’t have to sell a certain amount. You
are only asked to purchase $50/year to keep your wholesale membership.

Wholesale Members can also be Independent Distributors.
This just means in addition to the wholesale pricing (24% off retail price),
you also have the option of
sharing the oils with your friends and family in order to earn commissions and
participate in promotions for free oils. If becoming a Young Living Independent
Distributor is something you are considering, please contact me. I will be more than happy to
help you with getting your essential oil business up and running! Signing
up as a wholesale member puts you under no obligation to distribute the oils.
It simply means that you get to enjoy the benefits of a discounted
wholesale membership and save 24% on everything you order, forever.

To become a member, you will need to fill out this form.
Once you become a member, you can order as frequently or infrequently
as you like. To maintain your wholesale membership, you need to order a
minimum of $50 in product per year. Unless you decide to collect Essential Rewards points or earn a commission as an independent distributor, you do not need to meet any monthly minimums!

On the membership form you will be given the option of selecting a
starter kit. We recommend purchasing this when you sign up to
familiarize yourself with a variety of different oils right away. Canadians do not need to order a starter kit, unless they want to.(If you live in the USA and want to become a wholesale member, you will need to choose a starter kit.)

If you choose to order a starter kit, the best deal is the Premium
Starter Kit ($173 plus tax and shipping). This kit (valued at over $300)
contains everything you need to incorporate essential oils into your
everyday life, including:

When it comes to essential oils, Young Living sets the standard for purity and authenticity.
Young Living carefully monitors every step of the production of the oils from
beginning to end through a unique seed to seal process, ensuring the purity of
each essential oil and protecting nature’s living energy in every bottle. This
unsurpassed commitment to quality means that you can be confident that Young
Living essential oils are both safe and effective. Young Living farms,
located around the globe, are dedicated to perfecting the best growing and
harvesting methods. Their experts also travel the world visiting their co-op
farms to verify that their growing and cultivating processes match their high
standards. These operations provide an ongoing source for essential oils that
meet Young Living’s demanding quality standards.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate
to ask. You can purchase Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils in one
of two ways: as a Wholesale Member (best option), just like I am, or as
a Retail Customer. Either way, all I want is to introduce you to what I know
and love. The following are all included in the starter pack, along with Stress
Away, samples of four of the oils to share with friends and family, and a
diffuser for the home. Of course, there is also a tiny starter kit but it doesn’t
include any oils or the diffuser. It simply allows you to order at wholesale.
